Whatever I Was, I’m Not Now

I used to be touchy, aggressive and rather choleric,
Woe betided anyone who crossed me.
You wouldn’t like me then
I wouldn’t like myself, either
I was rather obnoxious – a real ogre  -
As I had so many demons in my head, then.

I’m delighted that
Whatever I was, I’m not now
I don’t take offences easily
Neither do I react to offensive people
I’d remain totally calm and indifferent
As I’ve cleared rather a few demons from my head.

The most memorable people in life will be the friends who loved you when you weren’t very lovable.
